So it looks like that we need to work with an extra interface (dummy0 with

Would you mind changing the name to something that would more clearly
reflect the reason why this dummy interface exists?
e.g., cups0 or cupsbrowser or cupslocal.
Ideally it'd be unique enough that searching the web for the name would
return our documentation about it and nothing else. 'dummy0' would easily
fail that test.
I also came already to this idea and in my most recent tests I called
the interface "ippusbxd". I set up the interface for testing with the
following commands:
sudo ip link add ippusbxd type dummy
sudo ip link set ippusbxd up
sudo ip link set ippusbxd multicast on
sudo ip -6 addr add 'fd00:1:1::1/64' dev ippusbxd
Note that for the testing I use a fixed IP address. For production a
random one should be chosen.
